A a. EARTH EFFECT: The various sites are paved, partially paved, and unpaved (in the case of soil remediation) and would need to be graded and paved for utilization of the sites. This paving of unpaved surfaces constitutes overcovering of the soil. FINDING: The concern of overcovering of the soil is whether there is sufficient capacity in the storm water system to accommodate increased water runoff. The site is essentially flat and the existing storm water drainage system on Marina Boulevard can accommodate this increase in water runoff. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The proposed grading and paving of the sites requires a grading permit. Review and approval of the grading plan and inspections during the grading process will ensure that the required grading plan, which includes the appropriate drainage provisions, will be carried out so that site drainage will be accommodated within the existing storm water drainage system on Marina Boulevard, which does have sufficient capacity to accept the additional inflow. City review and inspection of the grading permits and grading process will ensure that there will be no significant effect on the environment related to the grading process. EFFECT: The existing sites include a combination of paved, partially paved, and unpaved surfaces. The grading and paving of these areas would result in a very slight change in the topography of the site, although this area is essentially flat. FINDINGS: The site is essentially flat and any change in topography would be very slight. A concern in a change in topography could relate to either a significant feature or how that change in topography would result in a drainage problem. The site includes a vacated gas station, a single family residence converted into and most recently used as an office, and a vacated printing plant. There is nothing significant about these features and the City's oversight of the grading permit review and inspections during grading of the site will ensure that no drainage problem will ensue. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The proposed grading and paving for the sites requires a grading permit. Review and approval of the grading plan and inspections during the grading process will ensure that the required grading plan, which includes the appropriate drainage provisions, will be carried out so that site drainage will be accommodated within the existing storm water drainage system on Marina Boulevard. City review and inspection of the grading permits and grading process will ensure that there will be no significant effect on the environment related to the grading process.
